Autumn and winter gluttony! 5 eating habits that can easily lead to obesity

The hot weather has eased a little and we can finally feel the autumn. It’s the autumn of delicious food! The fish in autumn are especially fresh, and there are also mushrooms, sweet potatoes... just thinking about them makes me hungry! In autumn, the gastrointestinal discomfort in the summer gradually returns to normal, and the appetite also increases greatly, so you may eat too much if you are not careful. The extra fat you gain in the fall will follow you all the way into the winter, and may even accumulate more. Today, I would like to introduce to you the basic knowledge you must know before autumn comes:

1: Try changing the order of eating

The same dishes can lead to a big difference in the rate of fat absorption in the body if you change the order of eating. The order is roughly divided into the following:

(1) Vegetables: salads, side dishes, etc.

(2) Staple food: fish, meat, etc.

(3) Carbohydrates: rice, bread, pasta, etc.

Carbohydrates can cause blood sugar levels to rise rapidly and insulin secretion to cause fat to accumulate in the body. Eating dietary fiber first can prevent blood sugar levels from rising rapidly and hinder fat absorption. It is important to start with green vegetables.

2. Citrus can effectively break down fat

Most citrus fruits, including oranges, contain an ingredient called "synephrine", which can effectively promote the decomposition of fat. Moreover, the orange peel and pulp are rich in dietary fiber, and eating them before meals can slow down the rate of fat absorption. The synephrine content is particularly high in unripe green oranges, which are now readily available in supermarkets. Remember to eat them before meals!

3: The main course of choice: herring!

Autumn is the peak season for bluefish such as saury and mackerel. EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) in black carp can reduce neutral fat and has a fantastic effect of burning body fat. In addition, it is recommended to squeeze the juice of sour oranges and tangerines and drink it, which has the same effect as eating green oranges. The synephrine can promote fat decomposition and has the effect of improving metabolism.

4. Shiitake mushrooms are the best companion to meat

When eating meat as the staple food, remember to pair it with mushrooms. Shiitake mushrooms are rich in dietary fiber and low in calories. Moreover, the chitosan in shiitake mushrooms can not only inhibit fat absorption, but also help excrete fat from the body.

5. If you eat too much, please come back the next day

Even if you "accidentally eat too much..." one day, don't give up in a hurry. It takes several days for the food you eat to be converted into body fat. As long as you make up for it the day after overeating, everything is still in time. As long as you eat more vegetables rich in dietary fiber, or take in foods containing potassium which has a diuretic effect, and drink more water, you can help excrete excess fat and waste materials from the body. Sweet potato is one of the seasonal delicacies in autumn. It is rich in dietary fiber and potassium, and is the first choice for promoting metabolism. However, sweet potatoes are high in calories, so be careful not to eat too much.

The above are eating habits that will prevent you from gaining weight in autumn. While enjoying autumn delicacies, don’t forget to follow the secrets to avoid gaining weight!
